Neurosurgery
Surgery centers report annual procedure volume for neurosurgery procedures including:
- Spinal Fusion
Experts agree that patients often have better outcomes when their procedure is performed by a surgeon and surgical teams with adequate, ongoing experience performing a particular procedure. However, Leapfrog has not yet established minimum hospital or surgeon volume standards.
Patients Included in the Measure

-
Adults
